Take the missile's starting position to be the origin. Assuming the angles given are taken to be counterclockwise from the positive horizontal axis, the missile has position vector with components

x=v_0\cos20.0^\circ t+\dfrac12a_xt^2

y=v_0\sin20.0^\circ t+\dfrac12a_yt^2

The missile's final position after 9.20 s has to be a vector whose distance from the origin is 19,500 m and situated 32.0 deg relative the positive horizontal axis. This means the final position should have components

x_{9.20\,\mathrm s}=(19,500\,\mathrm m)\cos32.0^\circ

y_{9.20\,\mathrm s}=(19,500\,\mathrm m)\sin32.0^\circ

So we have enough information to solve for the components of the acceleration vector, a_x and a_y:

x_{9.20\,\mathrm s}=\left(1810\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}\right)\cos20.0^\circ(9.20\,\mathrm s)+\dfrac12a_x(9.20\,\mathrm s)^2\implies a_x=21.0\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s^2}

y_{9.20\,\mathrm s}=\left(1810\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}\right)\sin20.0^\circ(9.20\,\mathrm s)+\dfrac12a_y(9.20\,\mathrm s)^2\implies a_y=110\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s^2}

The acceleration vector then has direction \theta where

\tan\theta=\dfrac{a_y}{a_x}\implies\theta=79.2^\circ

In order to walk barefoot on hot coals without hurting your feet
siniylev [52]

Before a person walks through burning coal, the person will make sure their feet are very wet. When they start walking on the coal, this moisture will evaporate and form a protective gas layer underneath the person's feet. You can see examples of this if you happen to drip some water on a hot stove or any very hot surface. The water will very easily glide around on top of a newly formed layer of air underneath it -- like air hockey pucks on an air hockey table. Note that when someone walks through burning coal, typically this is also done very quickly to prevent a great deal of exposure to possible harm. By walking quickly, thinking positively, and letting the water cushion you from immediate danger over a short distance, such a task is possible. You may have also heard of physics teachers demonstrating how this principle works by sticking their hand first in a bucket of water and then quickly in a bucket of boiling molten lead. In the lead, their hand is protected briefly by a layer of gas from the evaporated water (the water vapor). I'm fairly sure that there is a name for this particular layer of gas, but I'm afraid the name is beyond me at the moment. In other words, water vapor has a low heat capacity and poor thermal conduction. Very often, the coals or wood embers that are used in fire walking also have a low heat capacity. Sweat produced on the bottom of people's feet also helps form a protective water vapor. All of this together makes it possible, if moving quickly enough, to walk across hot coals without getting burned. WARNING: Do not attempt to perform any of the actions described above. You can seriously injure yourself. Answered by: Ted Pavlic, Electrical Engineering Undergrad Student, Ohio St.  (citing my source)

A(n) 131 g ball is dropped from a height
larisa [96]

Answer:

26.59 N/m

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Mass (m) = 131 g

Extention (e) = 4.82755 cm

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Spring constant (K) =?

Next, we shall convert 131 g to Kg. This can be obtained as follow:

1000 g = 1 Kg

Therefore,

131 g = 131 g × 1 Kg / 1000 g

131 g = 0.131 Kg

Thus, 131 g is equivalent to 0.131 Kg.

Next, we shall the force exerted by the ball on the spring. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass (m) = 0.131 Kg

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Force (F) =?

F = ma

F = 0.131 × 9.8

F = 1.2838 N

Next, we shall convert 4.82755 cm to metre (m)

This can be obtained as follow:

100 cm = 1 m

Therefore,

4.82755 cm = 4.82755 cm × 1 m / 100 cm

4.82755 cm = 0.0482755 m

Thus, 4.82755 cm is equivalent to 0.0482755 m

Finally, we shall determine the spring constant as follow:

Force (F) = 1.2838 N

Extention (e) = 0.0482755 m

Spring constant (K) =?

F = Ke

1.2838 = K × 0.0482755

Divide both side by 0.0482755

K = 1.2838 / 0.0482755

K = 26.59 N/m

Thus the spring constant is 26.59 N/m

What is the first step of thermonuclear fusion within the Sun to form helium-4?
hodyreva [135]

Great Question! I happened to be a physics nerd!

Answer:

C. Two hydrogen nuclei, each with only one proton, fuse to form deuterium, a form of hydrogen with one proton.

MAKE SURE TO SEE EXPLANATION!

Explanation:

In the core of the Sun, or any other main sequence star, there is no single fusion process. Instead, complex sequences of processes occur to make helium nuclei from hydrogen nuclei (i.e. protons). The proton-proton chain provides for the majority of energy generation in stars with masses less than that of the Sun.  One difficulty in creating a helium nucleus (two protons and two neutrons) is that there are only protons to begin with. Some protons must be turned into neutrons in some way. The first step is to combine two protons to form a deuterium nucleus (also known as a deuteron). That's a hefty hydrogen nucleus with one proton and one neutron. Such a proton-proton contact is highly unlikely, and it has never been detected in a laboratory. Fortunately, the Sun's core is incredibly hot and dense, with an incredible number of protons packed inside. Even a low likelihood event will occur every now and again. Along with each deuteron, a positron (an "anti-electron") and a neutrino are created. Because the Sun's core is plasma, there are a lot of free electrons, thus the positron doesn't live long until it and an electron collide and annihilate, resulting in gamma radiation. The deuteron then interacts with a proton to form a helium 3 nucleus. That is a high-probability interaction, and it occurs swiftly. Two helium 3 nuclei join in the third phase to generate a helium 4 ("regular" helium) nucleus and a proton. Branch I of the proton-proton (p-p) chain is responsible for this. Another stage is required because reactions between helium 3 and helium 4 nuclei are possible. There are two conceivable reactions (named Branch II and Branch III), and I'll save you the gory details. It gets much more complicated since theoretical calculations indicate that a reaction between a helium 3 nucleus and a proton is feasible — Branch IV. This reaction has an incredibly low likelihood of occurring, far lower than the Branch I reaction, thus it must be exceedingly rare. The Carbon-Nitrogen-Oxygen (CNO) Cycle is another method for reducing hydrogen to helium. It does not generate much energy in the Sun, but it is the principal energy generation mechanism in larger stars.
